whipped coffee

Whipped coffee was invented in Macau in 1997.  I had never heard of it before even though it was an internet sensation during COVID.  How did I miss that? I suppose ‘better late than never’. 🙂  What is whipped coffee, you ask?  It consists of three things; instant coffee, sugar and water.  This doesn’t sound like anything intriguing.  However, the magic is in whisking these ingredients together to form a delicious, creamy soft whipped cream consistency.  Take advantage of this creamy texture and make a coffee parfait dessert by folding the whipped coffee into whipped cream.  If you enjoy coffee drinks, try my iced coffee (better than Starbucks).

you will need

1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 oz warm water

method

Add sugar and instant coffee to a glass and stir to combine. Then add water. Mix with a handheld milk frother until it resembles soft whipped cream.

After a minute or two, the mixture doubles in size.  Add ice cubes to the glass and top with milk.

the culinary chase’s note:

You can use a small whisk if you don’t have a handheld frother. Bear in mind this will take a bit longer to make. Switch things up and use orgeat almond syrup instead of sugar. Enjoy!
